Tropical fruits, honeysuckle and baked bread excite the palate. This wine delivers in every way. Wonderful nose and great complexity. Great weight with the acidity keeping everything in balance. Great juice!

Wonderful balance of tropical fruit, honeysuckle and minerality. With a little age, the brioche notes have gained more nobility. Great depth and complexity. One of my favorite California Chardonnays.

Brioche, honeysuckle, green apple are singing Madame Butterfly together. Everything is so balance. A truly layered Chardonnay with a huge X factor. Awesome juice!!

Mineral notes and peach, citrus and apple notes. The oak is little too notable for my liking but time will take case of that. The palate is little too sweet and the acidity is decent but just a touch low to carry the sweetness. Good finish.

Mineral flavors with definitely gravel mouth feel & white flowers aroma to the nose. Interesting wine but not in the style my wife and I like to have. I think they have a unique expression for a Cali Chard but in my view this is a little overpriced for the quality of the fruit.

A leaner style of chardonnay. the lean nature is well rounded and light on the palate. it does not have a pronounced minerality above all else. The aroma is like white spring flowers..v alluring. On the palate is displays light lime citrus balanced with a soft sweetness i cant describe. A very elegant wine. Paired well with a fattier kind of fish.

Clear, slightly deep straw. Apricot,l butterscotch, oak. No acid, no tannins. Pear. Short balanced finish. Past its prime.

The tropical fruit has started to fade slightly. Everything is still in balance. I enjoy this wine now for its subtly. Drink up.

Tropical fruit, brioche and minerality work well together. Amazing texture and depth. The mountain fruit is so expressive here. Great juice!

Wow what a nice chardonnay. Bright and drinking very well. Not much more you can ask from a CA Chard. Drink em up they are hitting on all cylinders.

Beautiful flavor of lemon curd in a delicately buttery wine. Nice minerality in a long finish. Good body but not heavy. Delicious.
